Shock-resistant Samsung Galaxy S5 Active now available through AT&T

Water-resistance was a welcomed addition on Samsung's new Galaxy S5 smartphone but for the most active among us, they could have taken it a step further. Fortunately, AT&T is now offering a more rugged version of the flagship for that...

I bought the S4 Active and honestly I do not like the fact that there is hardly any support for it. Especially when you are trying to ROOT it or flash some custom ROM on it. This is something that I will not get and stick with the regular S5 as it will have more support for enthusiasts.

I dunno. Your contracts seem to work differently to ours. I find ours are a rip-off, it's always cheaper to buy a device cash if you're not interested in having the latest & greatest. A Samsung Galaxy S4 can now be purchased outright for about $300 - $350 now that the S5 has been released which retails for ~$800+

That is interesting. I just looked at Amazon and they are selling an unlocked S4 for $430. I didnt think it was that low. S5 is going for $600 unlocked. You are right in that $700 is quite pricey, but that is probably because it just released. I bet the S5 was $700 when it was first released off contract.
